1998 98 Ford Svt Cobra Complete. Runs & Drives. Front Hit. Salvage Title on 2040-cars
North Port, Florida, United States
|
Sadly, I am selling my beloved 1998 Cobra to which I am the second owner. On March 7, I was hit across the front end by someone pulling across three lanes of traffic to get into a parking lot. Both airbags deployed, and the car was declared a total loss by the other party's insurance company, despite my desire to keep it under 80%. The main reason was they did not understand the scarcity of these cars, and rated it as a standard Mustang or GT, no matter how much I tried to educate them. My car has California Emissions with black leather interior, and there were only 8 of them made for this model year. The car has an intake, exhaust, upgraded suspension, Eibach lowering kits, and drilled rotors for the brakes. Transmission and differential fluids were just changed less than 6 months ago, as was the fuel pump.
The bad is obvious... Dual airbag deployment, and front end damage. Currently the airbag light is on (Obviously), and it will turn off when the code is reset. The good is obvious as well. 77,066 original second owner mileage. Car runs and drives with no engine leaks at all since the radiator was not even punctured. Interior is in excellent condition (aside from dog hair). The car can be rebuilt and put back on the road if someone wants to take the time for this project. You will need to convert it to a rebuilt title. If I had the time and patience, and was not overseas on TDY all the time, I would repair it and continue to drive it because I love the car so much. I constantly get close to 400 miles out of a tank on the highway, and close to 275 in the city. I have new pair of single piece, wraparound crystal headlights for the car, as well as the headlights brace assembly for the car that I bought in anticipation of rebuilding my car. I have them available if anyone is interested, and they are all NIB. I also have a brand new OEM SVT wheel that is NIB at my house as well. Those are all available for the project if you would like to work out something on them so I do not have to list them on Ebay to sell. The car comes as is, where is. And you will need to make arrangements to pick the car up and ship the car from North Port, FL. The car will come with a Florida Salvage Title, and was last titled in Texas with me, and California before with the first owner. Please send any questions you have about the car BEFORE bidding. |

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
